About CHOCOLATE INSTANT PUDDING & PIE FILLING, CHOCOLATE

Great Value Chocolate Instant Pudding and Pie Filling is a dry mix product sold under Walmart's Great Value private-label brand, designed to be prepared by whisking into cold milk to produce a ready-to-eat chocolate pudding or pie filling. Per 100 grams of dry mix, it provides approximately 357 calories, 0 g of fat, 89.29 g of carbohydrates, 0 g of protein, and 0 g of dietary fiber — a very high carbohydrate density reflective of its predominantly sugar and starch composition.

Sugar leads the ingredient list, confirming it is the primary component by weight. Modified food starch provides the thickening action that sets the pudding when combined with cold milk — the phosphate salts (disodium phosphate and tetrasodium pyrophosphate) react with milk proteins to activate the starch without heat. Dutch-process cocoa provides the chocolate flavor. Maltodextrin adds bulk. Mono- and diglycerides (with propyl gallate and citric acid as antioxidants) serve as emulsifiers and fat stabilizers. Gum arabic functions as a stabilizer. Natural and artificial flavors round out the flavor profile. FD&C Red 40, Yellow 5, and Blue 1 are synthetic color additives, likely used to achieve a consistent dark chocolate hue in the final product.

Butter (cream and salt) is listed as a minor ingredient, introducing dairy. Nonfat milk is also present. Silicon dioxide is an anti-caking agent. Corn starch adds additional thickening. Allergens in the dry mix include milk (butter, nonfat milk). The product contains no wheat flour in the mix itself, though the finished pudding prepared with milk is not suitable for dairy-free diets. The USDA serving unit is listed as GRM. Standard preparation requires 2 cups of cold milk per package, which substantially changes the final nutritional profile.
